The Rishi System, very near to the galactic center, is the major base of
operations and mining of the Imperial Mining Conglomerate in the Farfin
Sector. The Imperial Mining Conglomerate is a lose collection of old
recycling and mining companies that were meshed together into its
current form by the order of the Emperor of the Galactic Empire. This
decision was made to help to stop and prevent the destructive fighting
between the aforementioned recollecting and mining companies. This
jockeying for power was hampering the Emperor's plans for the expansion
of the Galactic Empire's influence, and has now been crushed.

An Emperor-Elected official who leads a large board of owners and
operators of the individual recycling and mining companies, controls the
Imperial Mining Conglomerate. While the official has much leeway in any
orders, measures, and actions he or she wishes to give, the owners are
notorious for ignoring any orders they deem unprofitable. If such an
owner has a majority of the other owners on his or her side there is not
much the official can do but submit to majority. This has led to many
Upper Level Galactic Empire government officials to question the need
for individual owners at all.

The other sentient presence in the Rishi System is on the planet Rishi
itself. Therein dwell the H'kig Religious Sect, a very secretive and
withdrawn religious theocracy, and the native avian Rishii who only
recently have been discovered to be sentient. The Rishii live in the
large abundance of tall trees; while the H'kig prefer the lowland
grasslands for their habitation
